Modern Contemporary Architecture. and Master Architect Area: Mission Valley Period of Significance: 1959-Present Property Type: Commercial Applicable Criteria: A. C & D (Discuss importance in terms of historical or architectural context as defined by theme, period, and geographic scope. Also address integrity.) This department store was built during the post-World War II years of the commercial development of Mission Valley in the 1950s and, at that time, it would have been considered eligible as a special element of the City's economic development under Criterion A: Community Development. However, its subsequent alterations have deprived it of its original physical integrity. The building is not considered to be significant under Criterion B: Person or Event as no persons or events of note were associated with the property. Due to its many alterations, the building does not now include a sufficient amount of the character defining features of the Modern Contemporary style and the property is not considered to be architecturally significant under Criterion C: Architecture. The building would have met Criterion D: Master Architect as a notable work designed by Master Architect William S. Lewis, Jr., but its various alterations have reduced the building's integrity to below a level of significance. See the Continuation Sheets for further significance discussion. B~l.

Building Description The subject property is a 383,000 square foot, one- to-three-story building with a basement and penthouse structure. The building is an irregular shaped, asymmetrical, Modern Contemporary style, department store located on a multiple acre shopping center property in Mission Valley, immediately adjacent to Interstate Highway 8. The building is sited at the east end ofthe shopping complex and served as one of the original anchor stores of the complex. As discussed in more detail below, each fat;ade of the structure contains different elements but also repeats many of the predominant design elements. The building has a flat roof with support systems and a mechanical penthouse. The building was constructed of reinforced concrete with a pre-cast stone and pre-cast concrete exterior. The dominant features ofthe exterior fac.:jdes are large panels of pre-cast concrete that have been placed at the second and third floor levels. The design of the panels consists of continuous rows of hexagonal shaped, raised decorative sections. The upper and lower portions of the panels have edges that contain the lower and upper portions ofthe hexagonal design elements, creating a decorative v-shaped edging. Macy's signage is present on all facades ofthe building on the upper portions ofthese panels. No windows are present within these panel sections. The first floor of each fat;ade contains a pre-cast stone exterior that consists of 4"x 8" sections that resemble bricks with a pebble surface. The ubricks" are aligned in even, symmetrical rows placed side by side and add a geometric element that contrast with the hexagonal shaped design of the second and third floor panels. No small window openings are present on the first floor sections on any of the facades. The first floor facades contain large sections of four metal and glass door entrances flanked by large, metal framed plate glass windows. The north fat;ade and the north end of the west fat;ade have been obscured by new retail construction blocking the public view. On the north fat;ade only one section of the fat;ade, a metal and glass door entrance, is visible at the end of a passage way between two new retail buildings. The south elevation and east elevations face the surrounding parking lots. The west entrance faces into the rest ofthe shopping complex. The color scheme of the building is composed of various shades of beige, grey, and cream colored sections. Strong vertical and horizontal geometric detailing provides a variety of visual elements that blend into a cohesive design aided by the pale color palette.

Crawford/Office of Marie Burke Lia Date 12/2015 Continuation X Update East Facade The east fa~:;ade contains the elements seen on the other facades- the pre-cast brick/pebble design on the ground floor and the pre-cast concrete hexagonal design panels on the second and third floors. The second and third floors extend out over the first floor, forming a covered walkway. This section is supported by square columns. An entrance of four metal and glass doors flanked by metal framed, plate glass windows is present in the center of the fa~:;ade. This portion of the building faces the east parking lot. The alterations to this fa~:;ade are documented in the 2015 East Fa~:;ade Exterior Elevation and the Addendum Memo included in Attachment E.1., the East Facade current photographs 1 to 15 in Attachment 0.2, and as discussed below. South Facade The south fa~:;ade contains the most decorative elements of all four facades. The south fa~:;ade can be viewed from the Interstate 8 freeway, resulting in a design that emphasized the diverse elements of the structure. This fa~:;ade contains three main sections of the structure- the three story main department store block, a two-story section, and a one-story section. The one story, rectangular shaped section is present at the east end ofthe fa~:;ade. This component of the building has no window or door openings and contains the pre-cast concrete brick/pebble design across the two facades that are visible.
